Painting pictures with words.
Opening a part of the soul.
Emotion flowing with the lines.
Tapestry skillfully woven.
Reflecting thoughts artfully.
Yearning to make a difference.

Karen,I will miss this site, but hopefully not our friendship. I know you are in an unhealthy state right now, but my e-mail is always open should you wish to e-mail me. I will pass on any encouraging words I have to you. Thank you for publishing my poetry and helping me promoting my magazine, although there were very few "takers."Your friend,David Fox

What a gift you and Inge and Jack have been for my brief residency at tis site. May you now be the recipient of the love and encouragement you have provided to this community in the days ahead. Prayers over and around you.

I'm in debt to you and Inge for helping me to keep Whispers alive for awhile longer. Sometimes, the season for one thing passes so that something else can be born. I know we will keep in touch, my friend.

Yes, dear Karen, as Jack wrote: We'll be always in touch, my friend!Although it is sad that whispers will close, but I think that all of us are grateful to you to give us the chance to publish our poetry in the past. I also hope that Whispersinthewind-blog won't be closed for reading in the future.Take good care, my friend!Love,Gert

Thank you for all the encouragement and support you have given me over the years. Although our journal's journey will claim no awards, it seems fitting for the tranquil essence that I have enjoyed with you and others.

Coming from you, soul-sister, these words such a balm to my heart. I hope to share other ventures with you or maybe just a tranquil letter now and then. I trust God for that journey as I know that you do too.

Thank you Karen for all you have given all of us, I will miss visiting Whispers, but look forward to staying in touch and sharing the gift of words and friendship. Wishing you every happiness in all you do and thanks for the great memories!

Yes indeed, Whispers will be missed, but thankfully not our friendship. What a blessing you as well as your God inspired site has been. You will continue to be a special consideration in my prayers and thoughts my very special friend.Love, Charlene
